The Gift

Released - 2000
Genre - Horror, Drama, Thriller
Director - Sam Raimi
Starring - Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi, Keanu Reeves, Hilary Swank

The Gift promised to be a quality film in the supernatural thriller genre. Sam Raimi directs and the story is set in the, swamp and redneck ridden, South of America. Cate Blanchett plays Annie Wilson, a psychic who tells fortunes in order to support herself and her three kids. Hilary Swank is the battered wife who comes to visit her, leading to the furious anger of her psycho husband played by Keanu Reeves. This is a slow supernatural tale which is tired and clichéd, yet there are still enough touches of quality to make it watchable and even enjoyable in places.
